Love from my Trooper, to Jazz-Man - His pictures just want you to reach out and hug him! Was looking up skin, allergies on forum, and here you were. Trooper also had a severe reaction to his rabies/distemper shot, his fur clumped out at the 2 injection sites, weakened areas so continued from there. ...

With ongoing skin, fur issues, Trooper is taking natural supplements, like salmon oil, flax seed oil for omega's, kelp powder and evening primrose mixed in with pure pumpkin. He gobbles it up at breakfast. Allergens are out there, this tends to help counter the reality. All good items for even us fo...

A clean pup LOL - my Trooper won't even get on the couch - by the sounds of it - thank goodness! He likes the coolest floor he can find - leaves a wet spot there when licking done but not much to wipe up there

Been a few more months - has the ear perked up? The coloring and size are natural - my Chow Trooper is now 4 yrs. and he weighs in at 48-52 lbs. fluctuating at times. He is on the smaller end of scale and his predecessor Bandit was around the 50 lb. mark too. Not sure on the spotty tongue - could st...

Someone else on the site - had similar experiences - was advised to check the *Censored Word* sacs - could be causing discomfort - a vet would need to 'express' them if you were unable or needed to learn how. Just a thought. I once had Trooper do this but he was found to be in a 'low mood' and it so...

So worth the time & patience - they grow up soooo fast & really do slow down! yes....DO slow down. You will enjoy her for years to come. The biting will stop - they just want to latch onto everything and tug & chew - its the puppy in them - but as someone else already posted - All that t...

I should have read on further - My sympathies - I lost Bandit last year Mother's Day - couldn't stand the lonliness. I now have Trooper and waited only about 2 1/2 months. I just couldn't help myself - what a wonderful decision - Trooper is the centre of our universe and the best thing we did for ou...

What nice parents - a lucky Chow! and a long life. My last Chow - Bandit was 13 yrs. when he got really sick and was gone in about 10 days - so he didn't suffer long - thank goodness! I wish you the best days ahead with Tess and love her up to the fullest. I hope it gives you peace for the nice life...

Hello - Trooper is content to sleep when I am away - but seems to like chewing on raw hides the longest. Have you tried small childrens 'stuffies' Trooper took to a small woolly lamp - a babies stuffy - he carries around as his 'baby'. I would also check those paws - could be an allergy? Good luck!

Hello; Trooper just shed his first coat - he is 13 months old today! and he shed just over the last 2 weeks - I was also waiting and waiting - but the telltale signs are the 'fluff' balls starting to float around the stairs & corners of the floors - then I knew things were starting. He looks 5 l...

Hello....please read the post I just left on....I replied to: "My last resort to help Troy" I detailed the skin/itching problems I have had with my Trooper since I brought him home. I hope my suggestions help with the change of food and the sprinkle of supplements and also when you do get ...

Hello; I havn't been on the site for a while either. My chow Trooper is now almost 11 months old. Same ailments from birth was itching, skin problems, crusts and open sores that wouldn't heal. Slipped on ice and limped around for a while and reinjured easily until the weather improved here (Canada)....

Hello again; You are such help! thanks...The nat. dried liver snack I used to give Trooper was beef so I stopped a while back. However there is a lamb dried liver so I could get those for Vitamin A & protein. They are natural and dried. Would like the thread for probiotics & treats, thanks. ...

...The rash has cleared, however along the way during all of this & while under this medication....Trooper still gets crusty bumps which grow upwards like 'warts' with a sticky oozing underneath them until they get all dried out and he scratches them off or are picked/brushed off by me when gro...

Hi, My male chow Trooper (now 9 1/2 mos) as a puppy (2 months)came home with a runny nose and red bumps under his nose I thought was from moisture. He also had small crusty bumps on his head and ears which I thought were from his siblings sharp teeth. He also snored & breathing was 'congested' T...
